LE VOLTE TENUTA DELL'ORNELLAIA 2022 DESCRIPTION

Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is one of the most renowned and well-known wineries in all of Italy, symbolizing a wine-producing region, Bolgheri, which has risen to the top of global quality rankings for the production of great red wines in just a few decades. Here is born "Le Volte," a blend where the softness of Merlot merges with the intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by the strength of Sangiovese, creating a label that reflects the winery's philosophy, always focused on bringing balance and concentration to the cultivated grapes. An elegant and precise product, well defined in every sensory component, both in primary and varietal aromas, as well as in secondary and tertiary notes.

"Le Volte" from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is a red wine made from a meticulous blend of international and indigenous grape varieties. Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon are carefully selected during harvest and vinified separately in small stainless steel vats, undergoing both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine then undergoes aging, partly in used barriques and partly in cement vats, for a period of 10 months.

"Le Volte" is a label produced by Tenuta dell’Ornellaia that impresses from the moment it is poured into the glass, characterized by a beautiful, particularly intense ruby red color. The aromatic profile is structured around notes of wild berries, interspersed with floral and sweet spice aromas derived from wood aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied, marked by great smoothness and roundness that make the drinking experience incredibly soft and smooth. A red wine to enjoy immediately or to cellar for a few more years to taste it in a more evolved and mature version: in both cases, it will not disappoint.

When to open
To enjoy it at its best, we recommend you to let the wine 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before serving
When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied red wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
Longevity
You can easily leave it in your cellar for 4-5 years
